Native American Music & Musicians Part 1

Hostess Lisa Sahani, WnT Board Member is joined by musical guests Joseph Strider and Steven Clawson. 

The Americas contain hundreds of native communities, each with its own distinctive history, language, and musical culture. These communities—although united in placing music at the centre of public life—have developed extraordinarily diverse and multifaceted performance traditions.  In latter years, Native Americans have created a special niche in the music industry and within that niche have sprung a number of Native American Musicians and Genres.  http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/1350772/Native-American-music

NAMMY Nominated, Acoustic guitarist Joseph Strider has covered a lot of musical ground in his career thus far. From boy soprano in school choirs, to playing with a cover band, Strider has spent the years developing his own unique style, a style that fits in no established genre and can best be described as Modern Indigenous Alternative.   http://www.josephstrider.com

For South Georgia native Steven Clawson, blues, rock n’ roll and country are on the same beat. That beat, mixed with a little Cajun roots brings a sound that Steven and his fans like to call “Southern Soul”. Steven’s love of music and performing began at an early age, with much encouragement from his family.  http://www.facebook.com/stevenclawsonmusic
